Synopsis

Defense attorney Martin Vail takes on jobs for money and prestige rather than any sense of the greater good.

Vail finds himself up against his ex-pupil and ex-lover, but as the case progresses and the Church's dark secrets are revealed, Vail finds that what appeared a simple case takes on a darker, more dangerous aspect.
